Converting Connections Through Workbench

When you open a legacy DTS that was created on your system prior to Insight 7.9.0, the Workbench:

• Prompts you to do one of the following:
  • Create a connection in the Internal Database, if there is no existing connection with matching parameters.
  • Select an existing connection with matching parameters from the Internal Database.
  • Select an existing connection with similar parameters from the Internal Database.

  Note:

  Click Details to see the properties of the connection you are converting. Click Properties to see the properties of the selected connection in the Internal Database.

• Prompts you to save connection changes in the current DTS and cascade those changes to other DTS files in the current directory tree.
  • If you save connection changes in the current DTS and cascade connection changes to all DTS files that include matching connections:
    • The current DTS is updated with the converted connection information. Those updates are saved when you next save the current DTS.
    • You are prompted to upgrade each DTS file that includes connections matching connections in the current DTS.
    • The current DTS is ready to run in the Workbench after you save the DTS with the converted connection information.
  • If you do not save connection changes in the current DTS:
    • If you do not save the DTS before you close it, no converted connection information is written to the current DTS.
    • No other legacy DTS files are upgraded with the new connection information.
    • When you next open the current DTS, you are prompted to convert connections that the DTS uses.
